GPU mining is dead. Get an ASIC or mine another alt.

LOL - He's not even talking GPU anymore... he's asking about his XEON.

cyclops, spend some time reading the forum first. You're about three years too late to mine with your current hardware.

Theymos sells ad services and earns money. What's your business what he does with his own money again? Huh

I don't even understand why you guys feel the need to justify yourselves.

I agree strongly with this. Mods getting paid to do mod work is just a sign that both this forum and BTC is becoming mature.

Honestly I wish they were open about it from the start, that would have been the transparent thing to do. But getting paid to do work? Why is this such a radical idea for some?

Agreed. Why is this such a big deal that this thread has gotten this long?

Agreed.

I merely asked the questions: has anybody actually examined the code?

Yes. Many people have examined the code. Many.

Why don't you stop asking about it and go examine it yourself? Even if you can't read code you should be able to see a gaping security hole like phoning home to the NSA. It would stick out like a sore thumb and bitcoin would not be where it is today.

It wouldn't have made it past the first week.

Well then you should have no trouble answering my question.

I already did. Go do your own research and quit relying on others to do it for you.

I'm sorry if my question hurt you feelings, but let me correct you on a couple things and then maybe you can quit the thinly veiled personal attacks. 1. I did not ask anyone to examine the code for me; I asked if the code had been examined for backdoors or malicious activity by anyone; and if it had, I asked who that was and for links: IOW, something called PROOF. 2. In the time I have had so far to examine the links you gave me, not one of them has said anyone had examined the code for that. 3. I pointed out your logical failure-contradiction in insisting that code must be open-source so that it was open to examination but then insisting that examining it was not important. 4. I never said that I didn't read code. 5. I have examined numerous open-source programs, because brother, (despite what you wish to assume) I do read code and probably have since you were in diapers. But I have my own life and was hoping to find someone cooperative and helpful in here who would kindly answer a reasonable question and instead I found an illogical troll who for some reason is highly sensitive about having this program questioned.

You haven't hurt my feelings at all. You just sound like a moron.

Here, let me do some of the work for you:

* Raw code from GitHub
* Oh wow! Look at all these people reporting issues in the code!
* And Coinbase's Bug Bounty (applies to Bitcoin as well as Coinbase)
* Satoshi Client Operation: Overview
* I Tried Hacking Bitcoin And I Failed by Dan Kaminsky

And there's much more but you've already wasted enough of my energy.  Wink

If this forum is just a business, one that has deceptive business practices and misrepresents their intentions, then there is no reason to support the business any longer.

Pot calling the kettle black?

He would say no.

I've never been involved in "deceptive business practices"

I've noticed. He seems to honestly think he's fooling people... or just in denial.

Best answer is to build our own.  It's disappointing a bit, because very few of us have the time to learn how to manufacture our own rigs. 

It's really not that hard and I'm sure you'll find enough help here along the way. Wink

.. When everyone has a gun, there is no violence.
Sorry, but this is just rubbish.

No, when everyone has a gun, there is LESS violence, and any violence that does occur is usually quickly contained.

Agreed. 100%

be careful and don't burn your house down

Don't worry. It is perfectly fine with 100% air conditioning.

lol. You're going to spend 100x more on electricity to cool the room than you'll make in the lifetime of the machine.

CPU mining is dead. GPU mining is pretty much dead. ASIC is the only way to be profitable, but good luck finding one.

So looks like no loophole for gifts..

Nope, it's stupid really. You pay $1500 for a device and it's essentially still owned by Google. Fail on Google's part.

(Keep in mind you can request to transfer it with Google's permission. But I would speak to someone at Google first before selling it.)

Good luck.

But alternatively, if its given as a gift, its fine:

"You may give the Device as a gift, unless otherwise set forth in the Device Specific Addendum. "

You can read the full terms here:

http://www.google.com/glass/terms/

No, this applies to the production devices. Yours is the Explorer Edition, right? Those are the only units available to the public at the moment IIRC.

Quote
Device Specific Addendum

Glass Explorer Edition

This Device Specific Addendum only applies if you purchase a Glass Explorer Edition Device.

You must be 18 years or older, a resident of the United States, and authorized by Google as part of the Glass Explorer program in order to purchase or use Glass Explorer Edition. Unless otherwise authorized by Google, you may only purchase one Device, and you may not resell, rent, lease, transfer, or give your Device to any other person. If you resell, rent, lease, transfer, or give your device to any other person without Google’s authorization, Google reserves the right to deactivate the Device, and neither you nor the unauthorized person using the Device will be entitled to any refund, product support, or product warranty.

How does that work? Is it tied to a Google account? And in that case the account could just be transferred with it...?

Quote
Unfortunately for the 8,000 people chosen for Google's Glass Explorer Program, Google can (and probably will) deactivate your device if you try to sell it or give it away. If you suddenly become strapped for cash or decide you don't like Glass, tough luck.
